Work is usually supported on trestles, or the end of a bench, but care must be taken to ensure the wood does not bend and bind the saw as cutting proceeds.

	The width of the kerf for all saws is determined by the amount of '''[[Kerf\|set]]''' which ensures some clearance for the rest of the saw blade and prevents it binding. Some saw blades are tapered towards their top to provide further clearance and a candle may be rubbed over the blade to provide lubrication if needed.
